A distinct lack of David Bowie on the playlist today, despite the fact it was his 65th birthday...

I have listened to him for over forty years though so that's probably ok...

More “work” on the downloading and replenishing project...

Up at 6 and “working” till 9:30...

Anne was in the throes of a bad headache and so unable to accompany me on the morning’s tasks...

Drove over to my mum’s and we had a wee chat about this that and the next thing – including how much we were missing Pam and how even the smallest thing could remind us of her absence...

With mum off to church, another visit to Ikea, again in search of a new computer desk – again to no avail...

Tried to find Lawson’s Tiber to get a cut to size piece of Perspex to try and keep the wind out of our skylight...

Another to no avail scenario so I ended up in a large B&Q and bought some rubbishy flimsy plastic sheeting which will no doubt fly away...

A walk in to Staples re their desks...

A distinct lack of avail...

Home after three hours and more time spent downloading albums I used to own...

To Anne’s mum’s for family tea – very tasty...

...after which I tried to teach niece Kitty the rudiments of rhythm – she enjoyed drumming on a biscuit tin and some glasses...

Home too late to catch the start of “Sherlock” and decided instead to watch the film “(500) days of Summer”...

I remembered we have it on DVD – or rather Pam had it – she bought it on the day of our first visit to The Beatson when we had lunch and went to Fopp by way of celebrating that things didn’t seem then to be as bad as they might have been...

Of course, at that time, we didn’t know they’d got it wrong...

Less than two weeks later she was in The Western, unable to speak...

I enjoyed the film but it made me rather sad to know that Pam bought it but never got the chance to see it...
